Vernon Boyne

Vernon Boyne is a Modern Age DC creation who stepped onto the page in 2012's Dial H #1, the inventive, offbeat series conjured by acclaimed novelist China Miéville and artist Mateus Santolouco. A compact six appearances keeps Vernon in intriguing company — sharing issues with the likes of Manteau, Roxie Hodder, Nelson Jent, and Dr. Kate Wald across one of the more daringly literary superhero runs DC published in that era. Dial H was a cult gem, and any character woven into its strange, imaginative fabric is worth a closer look for fans who appreciate comics that color well outside the lines.
